No cards/scrapping today, went to see 'High School Musical' with my daughter and her friend and had a great time. What a show! It was fantastic, I am a big lover of the theatre anyway, but they sang/danced and interacted with the audience big time. They were last minute tickets and we had just the best seats. Have kept the tickets and streamers and will be doing a HSM layout for Georgia to remember such a great evening. Glad to have Amy back from her college trip to France and 'The Somme'. On another note, RIP Lilo Jones - nineteen years ago today, I lost my dear Mum to breast cancer, missing you Mum wherever you are xxxx

Just wanted to apologise for the poor quality of the scanning of my lovely Elzybells card below. I blame my IT Department (hubby David), he refuses to let me use our camera. Thank you for all of your lovely comments and for following my blog. Glad you are liking my blog candy, I know that it is rather generous but I just wanted to give the 'Scallops' to a loving home, as I have been given two sets. Will put all names in a hat and will draw a winner on Monday 6th. Good luck and have a great weekend xxxxxxxxxx

This lovely stamp from Elzybells reminds me of my youngest daughter Georgia, on Christmas morning waiting expectantly for snow to fall. Covered the image with lots of Glamour Dust and white Bazzill pom-poms, which are a pain to try to scan flat but did play ball in the end (excuse the pun!) .... xxx

I wanted to share some of the pages of a special album that I started some time ago. I lost my dear Mum many years ago and have found it quite hard to complete. I am however, very pleased with the pages that I have done and am determined to finish it very soon. I decided on a lilac theme, 6'' x 6'' was the perfect size. I have used some purple Bazzill Bling, some beautiful lilac vellums that I had in my ever growing stash of papers, loads of ribbon, flowers and buttons and my bind-it all machine. Hope you like it xxx
